Need advice quickly?

[samj6]

just managed to drop my bike in the driveway and snap the bloody brake lever off!! was planning to go down to bournemouth on sunday and need it for work friday and saturday so pretty pissed off with my self!

anyone know off any online part people that would deliver before sunday as usually its within a certain number of working days. I'm going to try the local bike place but they hardly ever have any parts in stock usually order them!

other than that any bodge jobs i could do although it's probably very dodgy doing it with the brake!

any help appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam

Presume it's the front brake lever?
How much of a 'stump' of the lever are you left with?

Call all the big name mail order places; Busters, M&P, Demon Tweeks & Wemoto to name a few.

Phone around main dealers for your bike as well, they should be able to get you parts the next day. Do all the calling around in the morning cos for stuff to be delivered on Saturday it'll need to have been sent by around lunchtime.

I guess he wants to know, because sometimes you can strap the to bits together with a splint to get you going.

For deliver on Sat you are in the hands of the RM or some very expensive courier company who will charge far in excess of the part cost to do so....
Personally a phone round local bike shops would be best. Front brake lever will be something that will/should swap between a few bikes.

o right! the local dealer had no brake levers but found a similar shaped clutch lever so i've stuck that on upside down and seems to of done the trick! should get me to bournemouth and i'll get a proper one when i get back!

Cheers for the help,
